Stinky poo, what's your secret? It's a known fact that poop smells but have you ever wondered "WHY"? Smells like shit in here!

Food to Poop: What exactly happens?

1 INPUT - When you consume food and other inputs like vitamins and medications, they have an effect on your microbiome as they pass through your body.

2 MICROBES & METABOLITES - Several of these inputs aka food, vitamins etc are broken down by your bacteria, that also produce byproducts (metabolites) in the process.

3 OUTPUT - These bacterias and the byproducts of their activies can produce odour in your stool. One of the main being Indole.

What makes your poop smelly? Indole is a crystalline organic substance, it is found in faces and has a foul odour. It is a substance that influences smell. Other typical faces odours can be caused by substances present in foods high in sulphur, such as:

- BROCCOLI
- BRUSSELS SPROUTS
- GARLIC
- EGGS
- CHEESE
- CAULIFLOWER
- ONION
- ALCOHOL

The smell of your poop might change with each new bowel movement, as a result of changes in your diet and the waste products produced during digestion. Poop smells differ from person to person since every individual's food, physique, and microbial makeup are different.
